Very limited shaped picture disc
Special issue
with an extra 7" one sided single (Need your love so bad)-Variation B: white labels [slight mark on one] - see other listings
and folded card plinth/stand
With original catalogue #/barcode cover sticker
The PVC cover is sealed with a wrap-over cover sticker (some glue seepage)
The sticker explains why the 7" is included :'Due to circunstances beyond our control...'
Truth is that originally this was a 3 track 12" picture disc (with a 12" catalogue number) and someone decided it should be a shape but forgot to change the artwork stating track 2 side 2 was 'Need your love so bad'
Making the item a shape meant that the extra side 2 track could not be fitted on to the disc.
Unfortunately to fit the tracks on to this unsuitable shape the cut was made a 5" both sides-severely affecting the playing quality (see below)
Cock up by the record company basically.
Comment: 5" discs were made to neaten a shape but this results in unsatisfactory sound quality so if you are wanting the best sound buy the black vinyl issue.
